Has anyone done a blood donation while taking mounjaro

[AnnotherReader]

I am due to give blood later today. I was filling in the pre donation questionnaire the first question is 'Are you taking any prescribed medicines' I was about to tick no as usual but then I remembered that I am now taking mounjaro.

Does this count as a prescribed medicine even though I have bought it privately and it was not prescribed by a doctor? Will mounjaro make me ineligible to donate blood?

Private healthcare is selling healthcare, expertise, attention. Online pharmacies specialising in WLI are selling drugs. There is widespread concern, including from the pharmacies' own regulator, about the ways in which many of them are abusing the regulatory framework in order to flog drugs without adequate supervision.

I was supposed to donate on Friday (had to cancel in the end due to new piercings) but I did some research and there's no barrier due to MJ.

Just want to add my voice to others who have said that this is a prescription medication so of course you absolutely must declare it before giving blood. You might be absolutely fine to donate but the only people who can decide this are the trained staff who work for the donation service.

You'd have to declare it even if it was OTC.
